Where, when and how you get Metadon Nordic Drugs Where, when, and how you collect your methadone is decided by your treatment clinic. The general regulations for this are outlined in the guidelines from the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare, which state: “When medication-assisted treatment for opioid dependence begins, the medication must, during the first three months of treatment, be prepared and dispensed by healthcare personnel at the treatment facility where the program was initiated.The patient must take the medication under the supervision of healthcare personnel at the same facility. If there are special circumstances, the doctor may decide that the medication can be prepared, dispensed, and taken at another healthcare facility.” After three months, you may be allowed more flexibility in your pickup routines if you are stable and follow the treatment plan established between you and your clinic. The responsible doctor will make this decision. Please note that medication-assisted treatment for opioid dependence may be denied if you are dependent on alcohol or other narcotic substances, and if this dependency combined with the medication-assisted treatment of opioid dependence poses a significant medical risk to you. If you have other addictions alongside your opioid dependence, talk to your doctor so you can get help instead of trying to hide it. 6
